Why should a team send two top prospects for David DeJesus? He hasn’t hit for power (13 HRs career high) or stole bases (11, career best). He’s a "nice" player who, on a championship team, would be a fourth outfielder, or bat in the lower third of the order. But to merit two impact prospects? I wouldn’t pay the price for a poor man’s Randy Winn.

Chad Rader of whb810 writes that the Royals should look to trade Butler. Meanwhile, he makes a ridiculous statement about DDJ. He is a "nice" player that would have much better HR numbers in another park (esp. Yankee Stadium), has always had a good OBP, and plays solid to very good defense. Fourth OF? Very few teams would not be interested in having DDJ and his contract on their team.
